Restoring your apps is really easy, and you get to do a full wipe everytime, so should have no problems.

If you do a data restore from ext4 recovery after flashing. All your apps. Your Wifi settings, Google accounts etc are restored, so no setting your phone up on 1st boot. And 1st boot only takes normall time to load.

So my methord

1: Do a nandroid back up

2: Flash full wipe

3: Flash Rom

4: then stay in recovery.

In recovery

1: Restore Backup menu

2: Advance restore

3: Restore Data

4: Restore from backup

Then i restart device leave 10 minutes or so

Then reboot.

Then flash the mods.

I never had any problems with any os Steves Elegancia roms, other than screenshot not always working.

I do every now again do a full flash and compleate new set up, just to keep things fresh.

Steve
[HTC Sensation] clandes:
Lucky are those who have time to hang out here while at work :p

I'm off for home in a minute. Just wanted to say I don't always do a clean install. I flash 2 or 3 updates on top and for next maybe I do a clean install again and so on. Never had any trouble with any version whatsoever.

Oh and I restore my apps incl. data with the Rom Toolbox app manager. Works like a charme. I do not restore any system data after a clean install though.

Ok, off for now - cya all later!
[HTC Sensation] tantin75:

Excellent method.
[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Well that is the same as flashing over without wipe!!

Because when you flash a ROM over it wipes normally only system and kernel etc. when there is already a ROM installed and it leaves data partition untouched.

Only when you wipe also the data partition it is a fresh install. When after doing that you restore your data from a nandroid backup it comes with all (maybe) problems there were in old setup.

I always flash over first (takes 5 min) and check if all works OK. When not I will flash again but then a clean install, let download all apps from market new and restore all data necessary from apps who need it with tb.

Works always perfect.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
There's a difference between restoring system data and app data. I use Titanium to restore my apps & data (not System data) so settings for each app are preserved. I still do a full wipe before installing a rom and never restore system data and it's been working very well for me.

For me at least, I find it much faster to restore my apps (with data) using Titanium than it is to let Market redownload everything and then going back and restoring the app data.
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
No mistake my friend.

If you are interested, test the Elegancia_ICS_1.0.7 beta and report back :)

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] gluonyc:
Well... In Portugal I have excellent signal with this radio, even better than the previous one! Also I don't see other european users complaining... What was the exact procedure you used to flash the rom? It must be some other issue...

EDIT: I must say that the signal improved even more when I flashed the stock kernel last night - And no more random reboots till now. Downloading now the 1.0.7 version for testing (but for now gonna stick with the stock kernel)
[HTC Sensation] hd2neuling:
If it help you, i´ll test v1.0.7 and post problems and goodies when i got more time in about 5 hours.

LG, Helmut
[HTC Sensation] MasterKaiser:
Hello Steve, superwipe needed ? or just flash it over the 1.06 ?

Thanks for this awesome ROM!
[HTC Sensation] gluonyc:
According to the changelog he had: yes!

Use the procedure already discussed:

backup

superwipe

flash rom

restore data

don't forget to update 4EXT recovery (see here)
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
You can keep your current setup but using the new rom. Just make sure you only do data restore, not a full restore

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Booted up fine on me, when i relised i had a few choices to make when flashing

Went with the 1.2ghz option

When you prepare your comments, please add as much information as possible (1.2Ghz or 1.5Ghz kernel / TMousers or Not / etc...)

Thanks. Steve
[HTC Sensation] big_sw2000:
Ok using 1.2ghz, not a TMousers user.

Been running 45 mins now good signal where i am in work, about the same as before.

WIFI signal seems ok as well.

Made 1 call, all seems ok.

Not noticed any major probs yet
[HTC Sensation] Guru996:
Great ROM, thanks Steve - I'm loving the look & feel.

I on Orange UK using 1.5Ghz XE version

A few feedback observations:

1. Impromptu reboot happens - I read it's a common issues with the kernel, Any idea of when a fix is due?

2. Orange Consumer Broadband APN is locked - how can we unlock it for editing? Is this to do with the known Hotspot issues in ICS?

Thank you.

Downloading 1.0.7 beta :)
[HTC Sensation] the1gladiator:
Outside of the theming being well integrated, there are a few issues that I personally have with this Rom that keep it from being rather stellar.

1) Low Call Volume.

2) seems to be a power issue somewhere as i seem to be experiencing aggressive drain on the battery
[HTC Sensation] biohaz55:
1.2GHz, unbranded on Vodafone UK

Installation went ok and all apps re-installed, mostly from scratch with a few restored with titanium.

Signals are good, only 1 call so far but clear at both ends, battery remained at 100% since install about an hour ago but too early to say what battery life will be like.

The only problem to date is calendar pc sync (with outlook) but I've had this with the other 4.0.3 roms I've tried and sync with google calendar is ok.

I like the theming (as usual with Elegancia) and can't wait for some transparency mods!

Will stick with this rom for a while now..... although I've said that before!
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
Small report

Just wanted to post my experience so far with Elegancia using t-mobile

Updated fw from Mike's thread

hboot is 1.23 locked

radio is 11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2

Been flashing both sense and AOSP builds

Imho this series has worked best for me and looks great

I haven't experience any reboots to date

Running kernel provided w/rom

MMS works both ways I did change Apn when it came avaiable

Don't use wifi calling I would just turn off if it was there

Battery life is great I have anker 1900

seen beta for 1.0.7 is out will flash tonite or tomorrow I expect it will be release then -

Thanks to Steve/Dougi/Seriously Crazy for this work-I probadly miss something but wanted to make sure that I pointed out that at least for me I am haven't no issues to report atm
[HTC Sensation] pantect:
If you mean the ringtone volume (that's a Sensation problem) however if you are talking about in-call volume my own is very loud.

Battery drain is excellent on my end.

Maybe you need to reformat you SDcard, do a full wipe and reinstall your rom.

See if that help you.
[HTC Sensation] kanbei:
1.2GHz, non Tmouse, correct firmware flashed.

got a bluetooth issue, after pairing with bluetooth headset, first time I play music everything is ok. after re-connecting, music controls works ok, but sound is thru phone's speakear not thru the headset.

after rebooting the phone the situation is the same- first connection everythings ok, another ones not.

the same situation I experienced with 1.0.6 rom.

checked with MW600, jabra extreme and car's bluetooth

the problem stays even with clear installation (before I restore backups)

as always great work, cant wait for transparency

grt thx
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
The safest and easiest way to preserve the data if coming from GB, is to use a third party application like Mybackup and backup all the 3rd party applications, and then restore them with the ICS build/Rom.

Now if you are already using Elegancia_ICS Rom, flashing the Rom will/should preserve your own applications and settings.

If your device acts strangely like Youtube not working, security option for applications vanishing, etc... The best is to start from 0, and install the applications one by one or using a backup applications like Mybackup.

But if you feel your device is acting normal (98% of the cases), then just flashing the Rom on top of your current Elegancia_ICS, will do the job and preserve your applications and own settings.

Other solution is to Full wipe, then install the Rom and then restore your Data using EXT4 recovery: both your applications and settings will be preserved.

All the above should work fine, but as stated by SC, I would not recommend to restore applications/settings using Titanium as many users have reported issues after restoring stuffs with Titanium.

I'm sure the guys at HTC won't release an update anywhere as good as this ROM. These guys should take a look at the ROMs that are out there for their devices and learn what people like and don't like and leave it out their devices
[HTC Sensation] jg01:
Found this version to have a battery drain. I delete cache and delvak. applied the zip to current ROM (2.2.2), running 1.2Ghz kernel, lite version, no tmo stuff. However, keep up the good work!
[HTC Sensation] Ultraman666:
Man I should of switched from the Elegancia non Ics to this along time ago, very smooth, quick and extremely well done. Nice job!!! I do have one question is there a way to get the text to speech option for download. Its greyed out and I would like to have this feature with my new Blueant Q2?? Thanks for all the hard work, loving it!!

[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Well I NEVER had any problems with Titanium Backup.

What some people do is also restore system data and when this is an old backup then you get in big trouble.

It is in fact simple: before flashing a ROM back up with TB all user apps and data.

Do a clean install of new ROM, restore all user apps either by automatic install from Market or do it with TB WITHOUT data. After finishing restoring apps restore only the data from your user apps that are important to you. (like I use Touchdown Exchange, bluetooth connections, gmail accounts, Wifi settings etc)

After restore only data from user apps this way you are very quick finished with configuring your device new after clean flash of ROM.

This is how I do it always when flashing over does not cure problems (like I had with gallery). It takes me max. 30 minutes to have my device back as I had before flashing but with updated ROM.

Oh yes: System Tuner Pro works also very good like TB. Depends what app you prefer.

And yes: will there be a new nearly finished RUU of ICS for our Sensation???

As I see it know Steve will have no sleep for 2 days.....LOL

My ringtones/tones problem is getting worse!

Yes I have copy/paste the ringtones and tones to system/media but they keep changing randomly(it's not the default anymore) not only when I reboot the phone but also when I unplug the USB cable :eek:

Even the whatsapp tones are changing alone
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
+1 to this issue. I keep having the same problem,hope Steve can find a solution to this.
[HTC Sensation] clandes:
Strange phenomenon. No problems with ringtones or notifications at all. Just checked again with USB - no trouble.
[HTC Sensation] Prinz069:
I copied ringtones in rom.zip before flashing. No problems here
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
No better battery usage than this ROM mate. You must have something running in the background or screen on full brightness. I run 25% brightness and its fine for me. I get well over a days normal usage and I call a lot as no need for a house phone so in coming and out going calls all the time
[HTC Sensation] mark1316:
Why not keep them on the sd card and see if the same happen. I never put them in the system folder and never have an issue

[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I haven't had any of those ringtone issues but for you US users have any of you had wifi calling app issues? I think it's more of a general ICS issue because I've tried 3 different roms and had the wifi calling FC. I can only hope the final HTC release solves whatever's wrong, until then I just turned wifi calling off completely as I can't rely on it 100%.

Email settings

For some reason, my email account polling frequencies seem to keep resetting. The accounts stay in there, the signature stays, but the frequency keeps reverting. I set my work email to push during peak times, and manual during off-peak, but it never sticks, goes back to every 15 minutes peak and hourly non-peak. Same with all the email accounts (I have 3). It is not a big deal, just a little annoying. Anyone else notice this? Any solutions?

You have installed a mod that creates this problem.

Try w/o any mod, you will see that the rosie doesn't restart even if you have applications on the SD cards :)

After you installed a new rom, first thing, you must go to settings, security and then tick to the nonmarket applications. Its an ics thing I think.
